Movie Musical Divas Tournament: FINALE

It all comes down to this. The final round of our Movie Musical Divas tournament includes singer-songwriter, philanthropist, country music queen Dolly Parton, and actress, author, movie musical legend Dame Julie Andrews.

Primarily known for her music career, Dolly Parton nevertheless starred in a select few movie musicals, most notably the fine upstanding brothel owner Miss Mona in the film adaptation of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Conversely, Julie Andrews began her illustrious film career with her Oscar-winning performance as Mary Poppins, the titular character in the film adaptation of P.L. Travers's popular book, and continued starring in well-known musicals like The Sound of Music, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Victor/Victoria throughout her career.

After weeks of impassioned voting, it's time to crown the Queen of Movie Musicals once and for all. And once again, reminder: this is a movie musical-specific tournament. Thank you.

Julie Andrews (1935- ): Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins (1964) | Maria in The Sound of Music (1965) | Victoria Grant in Victor/Victoria (1982) | Millie Dillmount in Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) Additional musical/singing roles include: Cinderella (1957), Star! (1968), Darling Lili (1970),

"The QUEEN of the movie musical. Started in so many long lasting favorites. Dressed in drag in Victor/Victoria, thanked the casting director of My Fair Lady in her Oscar Acceptance speech for snubbing her for the role so that she could win an Oscar instead. The voice of so many people’s childhoods and genuinely such an amazing person. Look up the story about her Tony nomination!" - @kingscatt

Dolly Parton (1946- ): The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) Miss Mona | The Best Little Special in Texas (1982) | Rhinestone (1984) Jake Farris Additional musical/singing roles include: n/a

What exactly is a backwoods barbie ?

-Easy

im so glad u asked !! I learned the phrase thru a Dolly Parton song of the same name, but I think it’s pretty common in the south US !! it basically means what it sounds like - a person who likes to put a lot of effort into their appearance (most associated with femme gender expression), and takes pride in it, but because they are a country person all their effort is taken as “pretty with no brains” :,)

so as a country person who really likes being hyper femme and puts hours into their clothes, makeup, and hair - and who has been labelled “shallow and dumb” because of it, despite being pretty smart, I find that I deeply identify with that !!

hope that helps <3/gen

A fucking superb surprise today that Miss Dolly released a new song today

Delle Ivory ref sheet✨

(As well as some headcanons about her)

💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨

💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨

The top half of her hair is just Eddie’s natural hair without any glue used to hold his hair up

The rest of her hair is just extensions, but that’s a secret no one in the neighborhood knows

Despite looking physically similar to our beloved mailman, no one (aside from Frank) is able to tell that it’s Eddie under all the glitz and glam

Eddie in this persona raises his pitch up higher and puts more Tennessean twang into his accent, making Delle sound very close to Dolly Parton

Delle Ivory’s name is play on words with the word “delivery” (try saying her name five times fast and you’ll see what I mean)

The dress, sparkling boa, and whatever Eddie props uses whenever he’s in drag are unused or leftover stuff from Sally and her theater

Girl would’ve loved cuntry music😔💜

This is all just my interpretation of Eddie’s drag persona

If you have anything different in your head, please tell me because I am always up for discussion on drag! I’m no expert, I’m just starting to get more into it, but I absolutely am so willing to talk about anyone’s own ideas for this!

Is there a charity T. Martel likes? I'm rereading The Black Menagerie and they contribute so much to your art. I'd love to recognize that in a small way

Tracey, Ms. T. Martel - is the reason that I have been able to sustain writing as a hobby for so many years. She is also the reason that my corporeal form is with us on this plane of reality - as she makes my life beautiful and worth living. She has supported me as far more than just my beta since 2009, even if we don't always share the same ships, favorite characters, or even fandoms. (Wenclair is torture for her you guys, just an FYI lmfao.)

As always, we would never collect funds for fanfic, but if you'd like to donate to a cause in honor of how incredible of an influence Tracey is on my life and my art, we fully support the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and the incredible work they do to provide books to the kids in our lives. And I've also relayed your idea of supporting AO3 as an organization as well.

Thank you for all your support to my writing, and thank you - and this fandom at large, for recognizing my beta regularly in the comments. All hail my beloved, T. Martel, the Queen of my Universe 😘

[beetrootbug]

will I actively listen to country? No...

Will I turn off the radio when it comes on?

No

Cus some of it slaps! You can't reduce a whole genre to "it sucks"

Like people who say they hate pop. I guarantee you, you just hate the stereotypical pop music.

Plus no one talks about how songs can feel different in certain places. I wouldn't listen to harry styles if it was blasting out in public with my friends, it doesn't fit the vibe! But if i was on a car trip by myself in a sombre mood and "as it was" comes on? You bet ur ass i'm listening to it.

anyways, I agree, fucking stream johnny cash

i hate “anything but country” bitches. listen to some johnny cash and kill yourself

(I've been having a pretty big Mary brain rot recently, so I decided to start off with her!)

~

Full name: Mary Anne Macdonald

Birthday: February 14th, 1960.

Nationality: 🇬🇧

Place: Manchester

Heritage: 🇨🇴/🇳🇬 (Her father is Colombian, her mother is Nigerian)

House: Gryffindor

Blood Status: Muggle-Born

Patronus: Dolphin

I think that Mary is one of the sweetest, kindest souls you will ever meet. I think she's the "It Girl" of Hogwarts, but she's one of those popular people who get popular because they're so nice!

I could totally see her being like a cottage-core girlie in a modern day au. She loves long skirts, long dresses, poofy sleeves, bows, but don't be surprised if you catch her lazing around in sweats.

~

Songs that remind me of her!: More Than A Women (Bee Gees), The Lucky One (Taylor Swift), and Slipping Through My Fingers (ABBA).

Favorite Artists (Time Accurate): ABBA, Dolly Parton, Gloria Gaynor.

Favorite Artists (Modern AU): Beyoncé, Destiny's Child, Chappell Roan, TWICE, Sabrina Carpenter.

My Headcanons <3

- Her electives are care of magical creatures and divination.

- She loves women. Women love her.

- She loves to sing. She’ll sing whenever she does her hair and makeup, and Marlene will yell like “Slay queen!” from across the dorm room.

- Her karaoke song is "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor.

- She loves picnics with the girls.

- She and Pandora will weave flowers into the other girls' hair.

- She is the motivator of the girls, 100%. She is always ready to make her friends feel like the hottest, baddest in the world. She is always there to listen to the drama and give actually good advice on it, while low-key trashing whoever did them wrong.

- I think she wanted to be a healer, which is specifically why she didn’t join the Order of the Phoenix.

- She loves baking! She always makes her friends' favorite desserts for their birthdays! (She sneaks down to the kitchens and assists the house elves with the baking).

- She’s definitely one of those people who doesn’t go out of her way to work hard, but still gets really good grades.

- If this wasn't already obvious, her favorite color is pink. It just is.

- She is a lovergirl <3

- She loves loves loves to do her friends hair, makeup, nails, styling, whatever.

- She is a girl's girl.

- She loves strawberries.

- Like... to the point where it's a problem.

- Lily and Marlene once made her a strawberry shortcake for her birthday and Mary was so happy that her friends went out of their way to indulge in her interest, that she didn't even notice how sloppy the icing was. (Or how dry the actual cake was).

- She didn't find out she was a witch until she received her letter.

- She loves the movie "Grease".
